50 Years

50 Years Ago

Fifty years ago today 

I wasn't born yet

so I can't say

What it felt like

to be lead by a

King

And I'm sure his subjects

 didn't know that his actions

would

bring

The changing of a culture, 

a country, a

world

 The fate 

of once marginalized

boys and girls

The lives of the less

fortunate who never

could advance

The destiny of the 

unborn

who now have a

 chance

To be judge by

their character

and not by their skin

And all though

his works isn't done

We owe a debt

to him
